HUISKE
Machine knitted Skirt 2023
Huiske (Swirl) is a machine-knitted merino wool skirt.
The Heimtextil 2023 trend, From Earth, was utilized as a source of inspiration for the project. I was fascinated by its imperfection, roughness, and connection to nature and found similarities between naturally dyed fabrics shown in the Heimtextil fair and my sketch-based intuitive artworks. I focused on examining the artist’s unique style and the importance of being fully present in creating.
Throughout the design process, I tried to find out how to transform art into knitted fabric. After many experiments, I discovered a knitting technique that enables me to create painterly textures. The print is originally painted with ink.
